Modi research group: New York State uses more energy than SSA

The Modi Research Group at Columbia University recently presented an interactive map representing the total annual building energy consumption for New York City. Users can view estimated data available at the block level.
In an interview with Metropolis, Professor Modi pointed out that: “Midtown Manhattan has more energy use than the whole country of Kenya, and New York state uses more energy than all of sub-Saharan Africa.” The research group also works on energy and development, often in collaboration with the Millennium Villages Project.

  1. It seems that New York needs to learn how to use renewable energy. They can hire foreign services, like the solar panel installation from Perth, so they can utilize the unlimited source of energy; SUNLIGHT. Just think of all the advantages they'll get from that.

    1. I agree to that, Justin. It's even more convenient because you'll use the same old electrical components at home; you'll just shift to a better power source. Aside from being renewable, sunlight is better in terms of availability. That makes it cheaper.

    Hi, everybody! I think that this is a great forum about on renew-is-academy.org. It is Very interesting and useful. But I can’t find the search function, because I want faster find the topics that could be interesting for me to express my opinion about on In the modern world, many individuals spend money on silver. In contrast to other financial commitment choices, How to buy gold coins are regarded to be immune to economic variations. The investment strategies and money marketplaces usually keep varying and it is becoming more difficult to estimate the value of shares. The silver value on the other hand tends to be more continuous with little variation. This may be the reason why many individuals turn to making an investment in silver as compared to other financial commitment choices.
